Lit Sis
By Lit Sis
Sisters Haley, the mind behind Brooke & Binding reviews, and Maddy, upcoming debut author, discuss books - but not just reviews! They look at the various methods behind reading, what makes the best book, how to become a reader, what being a writer is all about, and anything else related to literature. Their humor, thought-provoking ideas, and passion for the subject draws in even the most novice of readers for an audio-only exploration of books.
